whenever there's a character that isn't Mishima that's cheap it will be called out probably bc Mishima at least requires having to become devil to just get just frame input electric
@@mikaela5938 I mean im not really good at tekken. Just a kazuya overlord scrub in tekken 7. But it feels so oppressing playing against him, when he ha all the + frames and stands in your face. Maybe i need to lab him to see what which moves i can punish him. I know he has two kicks which are -13 and -18 frames but we will see how it goes in tekken 8.
I played Hwoarang a lot as a kid for obvious reasons, press buttons to win. I never properly learned him and played Mishimas as I grew up, but I’m thinking about trying him in Tekken 8. Make my younger self proud
@@yuuyu666nope. He wore a stash for his eye because he was injured from saving Jin in his devil form in Souq in case you haven't seen it in his T7 character episode.
Hwo has been my favorite character for many many years. My favorite color is orange which is what initially peaked my interest. I stayed for how funny and fun he is to play lol
@@hipo131 yeah, i mean it also gave me a hard time not being able to see the inputs. Maybe its to kinda force the viewers to see the inputs from his mixbox since it's sponsored.
@@redthalos yeah and i don't mind watching it on stick but the fact that its upside down to the right its a little hard to focus on lol. like he could of just reversed his camera and put it near the frame data and it woulda been bearable.
picked up tekken 8 last night, only played an old tekken game at an arcade bowling alley in the early 2000s, horrible at fighting games, but hwoarang is fun and hot so i might stick with him for a bit 😂
True, although too many TKD strikes are done with no built in defense; with the punches being absolutely horrendous. I switched to MMA after a black belt in TKD and realized that TKD should never be used in real life.
Time to go back to him, I used him back in the days from T3, I even used Beak in T2, in T5DR I used him a lot, even online, T6 had a bad online on PS3, in T7 him was nerfed, so I stopped using him, and now he looks now strong, time to go back to the origins of my Tekken play :)
You have forgotten his other powercrush LFF df+3,4, it is among his best moves, gives great oki options and most poeple eat it at least once. Of course lows go under it, but it is still a great move.
You can duck a majority of his plus options and blocking his main mixes gives you a frame advantage. D34 spam also gets beat by jab now if I remember correctly
Me too, I liked him in Tekken 5 Was my fav character (that was my first Tekken) And I played some Tekken 6 and Tekken Dark ressurection on PSP, then I had a long break, IDK, but more than 6 years. When I saw Hwo in TK 8 he looks really good. Would like to learn how to use him for max damage
@@Shredder-ug1fufor real that’s my basic knowledge of him in t7. Got me pretty far, learned some solid combos, had a few signature ones!! This version of him is a lot different but I will learn
Busting out the content! Nice man! I just watched your Aris reaction video about Mixbox Hitbox Controllers and how they give you an advantage at sidestepping and that they should be banned. Funny coincedence....
i really don't think baek will ever come back tbh, even characters without similar moveset counterparts like Julia, Lei, and Marduk are just not in these games to make space for omega easy mode newer characters like Claudio and Shaheen
I would rather see Bruce Irvin/Fahkumram (Muay Thai is missing), Heihachi, Bob and Lei Wulong. Baek is too similar to Hwoarang so they probably wont include him.
Hello, I'm a fan. Please upload the joystick video in the opposite direction. So, please upload the button so that the button is on the right side and the stick is on the left side. Then I think people will understand better.
I´m having problems with executing the sky rocket on a fight stick. Would probably be easier with 4 direction pad or analog stick. I never had a problem with this on a playstation pad.
So what exactly do you do against this character? I keep hearing Hwoarang mains saying "Just duck 4Head" and I'm usually met with getting launched. Is there a Hwoarang counter video out there? I could really use one.
you have to learn his attacks, and seeing what opportunities to duck, sidestep, etc. He has a lot of openings, and you have to take risks to get your turn back. you may have to duck, sidestep, and "dick jab"
Lol its not spam if you play him correctly. His stances are dangerous and where he really hurts you. He can also sidestep from his stance to bait them. Instead of spam its pressure he's underated and thats why he pisses people off because with the wrong player they dont expect much from him until they face the right player and they cant keep up. My boy is a menace
Plenty of videos explain "frame data" just looke em up. U can see the display on the bottom left in training mode For a basic guide: frames r the speed the attack, measured at the rate of 60 frames per second. Jab is the fastest attack in T8 is 10 frames, anything higher than that will be countered hit by jab. On hit or block theres a certain amount of recovery time. Jab is +1 or 2 on block, this is block stun. The opponent cant attack/has very few options during block stun u r now "plus on block". Other attacks r slower, this is "minus on block", during this time the opponent can recover and punish u. U want to be as plus as possible, I hope this was clear enough
3:23 This is my biggest gripe with playing against Hwo at the moment. It feels like he doesn’t have many (any if the player knows what they’re doing) moves that actually leave him open. The only victories I’ve got are from people who know how to spam but not how to guard lows.
I can't believe that RFF df3 is +1 on block, that should be illegal. It's like season 3 Leroy's ff3, but this time it's a homing mid. Absolutely disgusting. And attached to a character like Hwoarang no less. There's no way I'm not trying out this dude bro 😂
the right foot forward homing move is nice but i think youre overplaying its utility. having to stance switch takes like 10 frames and then the move itself is like 22 frames? thats now 32 frames of startup, which is still useable but its a lot of time to be vulnerable
If the frame is 25 and -7 on block. You would be hit by 18 frame move below? So youll get launch by a hopkick which is 15 frames? How did he say that the move is safe
That would be true if you input 2 in a row and the first one was blocked. Its safe on block. as in you can block before your opponents next move will land being at -7.
I love how he’s just honest with hating hwo
Hwoarang mains are his worst nightmare

I'm glad he got his eye back
He was probably just wearing it because he's cheesy and wanted to show off. I bet it was Just a speck in his eye lol
He just wanted to impress Jin sempai. "look Jin, I'm a badass too, now you HAVE to fight me"@@yuuyu666
What would have been cool is if he had a different eye color or scar to replace it. Is what they realistically shoulda done. Missed opportunity
@@yuuyu666nope. He wore a stash for his eye because he was injured from saving Jin in his devil form in Souq in case you haven't seen it in his T7 character episode.
@@b01johnedwardbathan85 I saw it.
love that you're pumping out so much content despite the game only being out a day, really makes trying to learn things as a beginner really easy :]
Can't wait to get my hands on him. My main since Tekken 3. My favorite Hwoarang was in Tekken 5.
a real one detected, 100% same here. Nice to see him so strong in T8
If you liked him in Tekken 5, you'll LOVE him in Tekken 8.
For me was so addictive once you master him in Tekken 5 lol
Tekken 4 Hwoarang was good too! IMO
Also my main since tekken3
Wait. Is that frame data in the left corner? As in, it comes with the game? Is Harada okay,
The budget of this game was basically "whatever the f*ck you need" 💀
Tekken 7 sold more that tekken 3 which was seen as impossible. Namco seems to putting everything in this game to get a repeat.
Main man is getting PAID today
Thanks for the guide! Please turn inputs on in the future!
Very good details ! Been playing with Hwoarang since Tekken 3, I need to get better !!
Hwo has been my favorite character for many many years. My favorite color is orange which is what initially peaked my interest. I stayed for how funny and fun he is to play lol
Thank you my lord, the switch from 7 made me so depressed but this video really made something click for me hopefully
Bro uploading guide before official release lets goo
I am so happy they went back to his traditional look. So much better than his T7 look.
Bro got a sponsor mid marathon
you are the greatest tekken content creator. i havent played the game since tekken 3 but when i came back for 7 when you already "coached" me 😂
props to tmm releasing sm character guides release day
main man is really pushing out a shit ton of content for newcomers lol
And as a newcomer im glad
as he should
Feng Wei guide please !
I’m glad. It’s my first one and I want to try this guy, Lars and especially victor after I learn the basics
Yeah as a newcomer I need it. Between him and Steve are gonna be my mains
Omg man ur going crazy today, amazing guides. keep up the good work
this character has been the bane of my existence for 25 years
Can't wait for the Kuma video.
It's a whole sea out here with the salt to hwoarang i love it
How do i hit the blue sparkles on LF[4,3] consistently?
You re on fire mate😂

It LOOKS broken but once you start playing bs players then it gets difficult

Would be nice for the next guide to have command display on, kinda hard to follow otherwise sometimes

Mainman you are the tekken info center
How does the initiative kick on 3:35 work?
What about DF4 in Right flamingo? Is it a combo starter? If not, does it start a combo in heat?
it only launches on counter hit but still a good move since it's plus on hit and safe on block.
Excellent guide!

Hwo main since his release in '97. Glad to see NamBan keeps their Korean star shining
his wave dash is broken too, ofc 7:00
Yo bro how does your arcade stick have a d pad how do I find one of those without a stick?
Hwoarang is gonna be a fkn nightmare.
Tkd does actually teach some sick "grappling" (really just push/pull/move your opponent into your foot and fuck them up)
True, although too many TKD strikes are done with no built in defense; with the punches being absolutely horrendous. I switched to MMA after a black belt in TKD and realized that TKD should never be used in real life.
My guy Hwo got a down 3, 4 in left and his right stance.
its slower from right stance now though. It definitely looks cooler but I'm hoping it actually works!
From right stance the down 3 alone goes into backturn so you can do some little mixups there either into low or mid.
What kind of controller is that? Is it a moded arcade stick? Looks like a DPAD where the stick would be.
Isn’t it a variation of the hitbox looks after your wrists better
Awesome, thank you. Eddie isn't in the game yet, so I'm looking for another main that's equally annoying
Thank you so much TheMainManSWE ❤

What mixbox is mainman using?
Realistic Kick Block Feedback, I've never notice that
How do u switch stances ? Nobody say this info
Dope if u can Leroy next that’d be greatly appreciated
I haven't used him since T3 but I might pick him up again since my whole point of still playing this series is tricking people with mix ups. 😂
Can you do fhe B3 lsuncher from any stance?
Whoa I've never seen you play on a leverless before
Anyone know which arcade controller is he using?
the craziest part about rff d/f + 3 is that it leaves you in rff.
Is there any way to break the combo strings to stop them ?
You can duck a majority of his plus options and blocking his main mixes gives you a frame advantage. D34 spam also gets beat by jab now if I remember correctly
Btw when is he uploding the story gameplay
He was pretty difficult to learn in T7 but I plan on learning him up in T8
